“I feel like I've swallowed a cloudy sky”

― Haruki Murakami, Sputnik Sweetheart

“Maybe in some distant place, everything is already, quietly, lost. Or at least there exists a silent place where everything can disappear. Or at least there exists a silent place where everything can disappear, melting together in a single overlapping figure. And as we live our lives we discover—drawing toward us the thin threads attached to each—what has been lost.”
― Haruki Murakami, Sputnik Sweetheart

“Така живеем живота си сега, всеки сам за себе си. Независимо колко дълбока и непредотвратима загуба сме преживели, колко скъпо ни е било онова, което ни е отнето - изтръгнато направо от ръцете ни - дори впоследствие да сме се променили дотолкова, че от нас, каквито сме били преди, да е останала само кожата, ние продължаваме все така, без излишен шум, да следваме съдбата си. Простираме ръце и се вкопчваме все по-силно в отпуснатото ни време, а после, разбирайки, че сме останали с празни ръце, гледаме как то се отдалечава от нас в посока към миналото.”
― Харуки Мураками

“And it came to me then. That we were wonderful travelling companions, but in the end no more than lonely lumps of metal
on their own separate orbits. From far off they look like beautiful shooting stars, but in reality they’re nothing more
than prisons, where each of us is locked up alone, going nowhere. When the orbits of these two satellites of ours
happened to cross paths, we could be together. Maybe even open our hearts to each other. But that was only for the briefest
moment. In the next instant we’d be in absolute solitude. Until we burned up and became nothing”
― Haruki Murakami, Sputnik Sweetheart

“Being all alone is like the feeling you get when you stand at the mouth of a large river on a rainy evening and watch the water flow into the sea.
Have you ever done that? Stand at the mouth of a large river and watch the water flow into the sea?”
― Haruki Marukami

“Dozvolićete, ali kada čoveka upucaju, teče krv.”
― Ernest Borgnine

“So ist das Leben. Wie schwer und tödlich unser Verlust auch sein mag, wie wichtig auch immer das, dessen wir beraubt wurden: wir leben einfach weiter. Selbst wenn nur noch die äußerste Schicht unserer Haut die gleiche geblieben ist und wir zu völlig anderen Menschen geworden sind, strecken wir die Hände nach der uns zugemessenen Zeit aus, holen sie ein und bringen sie schließlich hinter uns. Sooft ich darüber nachdenke, wie wir unermüdlich und meist ohne besonderes Geschick unsere alltäglichen Verrichtungen wiederholen, überkommt mich das Gefühl einer entsetzlichen Leere.”
― Haruki Murakami, Sputnik Sweetheart

“What I’ve written here is a message to myself. I toss it into the air
like a boomerang. It slices through the dark, lays the little soul of
some poor kangaroo out cold, and finally comes back to me.

But the boomerang that returns is not the same one I threw.
Boomerang, boomerang.”
― Haruki Murakami
